Under the proposed legislation. H.R. 2580. a total limitation. exclusive of the Western Hemisphere. will be set at 170.000. This is little more than the total of 158.561. also exclusive of the Western Hemisphere. now set under existing immigration law. An important feature of the bill before us sets the maximum admission from any one country at 20.000 per year. As the distinguished and able chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration pointed out. this measure establishes a preference system. It includes more restrictive provisions to safeguard the American economy and the jobs of American labor than the law now in effect. May I say.
